The next day, study had to be suspended for one day. On the one hand, it''s because the spirit tutor Celine''s energy consumption is too large, she has a headache and needs a rest. On the other hand, it is because Zhao Mai vomit and diarrhea, constantly in and out of the toilet, there is no way to attend class.

    It had something to do with eating mushrooms, but fortunately it wasn''t poisoning. The magic of purifying food has been successfully used to remove the toxins in mushrooms, but it does not mean that people can digest and absorb raw mushrooms. In addition, he is constantly practicing magic, and his mental state is very tired, so it is reasonable for him to get sick.

    It''s a big change for Zhao Mai to gain the ability of magic. Although the ability of magic is very weak now, it''s also a change from scratch. Zhao Mai lights up his fingers again and again, with a silly smile on his face.

    The Druid has 14 prayers in total. Zhao Mai has already remembered their casting actions and language. It is not difficult for him to cast these spells. The only limitation is whether the natural force can keep up with the caster''s actions. It''s not a mental power or blood power. You don''t need to be prepared to cast a spell on your own. Druid''s magic needs to use external forces, just like a mage mobilizing elements and a priest communicating divine power. It''s better to "say hello" in advance, so as to save time. The stronger the Druid''s ability to communicate with nature, the more such signs, or magic positions, can be retained.

    While teaching magic, teacher Celine also taught how to prepare magic. By communicating with the natural force, the caster can form a rune seal with the power of some spells, which can greatly speed up the release of spells. This kind of rune is affected by the orbit of the sun and the moon and can last for about a day.

    As for why, there is no consensus in the Druids. Celine''s view is generally "shelve disputes, common development", and the community of diehards is also trying to avoid the division between Druid communities due to different ideas.

    Druids have different abilities, among which the most direct and recognized method is to classify them according to their magic abilities. Because mages and priests have similar classification methods, this classification method has been rapidly popularized all over the world. Even soldiers and knights follow this example and begin to divide their abilities.

    Zhao Mai, Lucius, afra and ziyue are still Druids, but when they can master level 1 magic and form more than one level 1 magic position, they will become level 1 Druids.

    This morning, Zhao Mai began to try to prepare the prayer to the spell position. At present, his ability can only guarantee three mourning spell positions, which are water making, detecting magic and light. There are no offensive spells in the Druid''s mourning, and the defensive spell is too bad, so we have to choose this kind of auxiliary good, wide range of incantation.

    Other prayers are not useless. As long as you calm down and keep still, try to communicate with the natural force, and spend almost a minute arranging the ceremony, you can still release it. In combat or in an emergency, this method of casting is obviously meaningless, and can only play a certain role in the rest.

    The magic of the magic position mainly mobilizes and consumes the surrounding natural force, while the ritual casting of one minute mainly consumes its own force. People''s physical strength is limited, and the stored energy is added slowly, so it is impossible to use this ritual method frequently.

    "Because of you, we can''t have class today." Lucius looked at Zhao Mai, and his hands kept fanning in front of his nose, as if there was really a bad smell. "I really want to learn level 1 incantation now. You have delayed me."

    "Sorry." Zhao Mai didn''t want to pay attention to him, so he was ready to go around with his grain reserves. It is said that today a caravan from Nebo town came outside the stronghold and brought a gift from the town to the Druids. Zhao Mai would like to have a look at the town near the stronghold.

    Unexpectedly, with a howl, a cheetah jumped in front of the grain reserve and bared its teeth. Grain reserves startled, Yiliu hid behind Zhao Mai''s legs and looked at the cat. The opponent''s size is more than twice his, and he did not receive orders, so he would not rush up foolishly.

    "Come back!" Lucius saw Zhao Mai''s animal companion retreat and achieved his goal, so he called the cat back. He said with a smile, "sorry, cats and dogs always like to fight."

    "Not my cat." Zhao Mai shrugged his shoulders indifferently and avoided with his grain reserves to one side. As he walked, he said to the dog in Chinese, "is that cat insane?"

    Grain reserves vomit tongue, nodded, as if to understand. "Next time if it provokes you, you can give it some color to see, I will do my best to help you." Zhao Mai adjusted the strap of "mammoth M1 giant tooth elephant" and confidently told the grain reserve.

    The Druid community is a completely self-sufficient place where people live by collecting and occasionally hunting. Whether it''s hunting or gathering, it follows the same standard: it''s enough to meet the most basic survival needs. Zhao Mai has seen the Druids deal with their prey. It can be said that there is no waste at all. Even the parts that can''t be eaten are turned into fertilizer by magic and sprinkled everywhere when patrolling. Druids never stock food, nor eat more to satisfy their appetite, nor cut down or hunt for commercial purposes. Zhao Mai respected their idea, but he decided not to hunt for commercial purposes and not to waste. He only ate six cents a meal, and he decided not to abide by it.Now he still has some gold coins in his pocket. The magistrate of Nebo compensated him for the money. I don''t know what businessmen will bring. Maybe there are some things that they can use.

    Two mule carts were parked outside the village. Mules were fighting with their heads down and legs down, whining. They will never enter the village, because there are wolves, cheetahs, tigers and bears everywhere, and there are more than ten big boa constrictors staring at them. These animals are the fighting partners of the Druids. They don''t fight with each other or bully the two mules outside. But their breath is still clear, for the prey class, it is the feeling of doomsday.

    A smart looking businessman jumped out of the car, put down the latch and stuck the wheel. So the mule could only tremble in place and could not take the car away. With frequent visits to the Druid community, Marlow was well prepared for this situation. The same mule can only come two times at most. Halfway through the third time, it will never go any further. He had to constantly change the animals that pulled the carts, which was equivalent to always tricking new mules to work.

    It was loaded with goods from Nebo, including weapons, armor, animal feed, smoked meat and some letters. Druids also need weapons and armor to arm themselves and protect the forest. Although they can do these things by themselves, they are not as good as specialized weapons and armor craftsmen.

    Animal feed and smoked meat were all for animal companions, and the Druids did not eat them themselves. They are willing to live a simple life style, but never treat their animal companions badly, and never have food restriction orders. So reserve grain can have a big bone to chew, Zhao Mai does not have this treatment.

    But for the Druids, the most important thing is the letter. The relationship between the infernal community and the surrounding towns is very good. Many Druids also come from the towns. They were originally farmers or craftsmen. After they became Druids, they still corresponded with their relatives, especially with their older parents. Even animals know how to take care of their aged parents, not to mention Druids? They read letters, sometimes make things, and entrust merchants to take them to their relatives to express their thoughts.

    The merchant Marlowe first picked up a pile of letters and began to pronounce their names for distribution.
